2 Fast 2 Furious preview question

[Sniper82]

Ok I went to watch Matrix Reloaded and saw the 2 Fast 2 Furious preview. In the preview it shows the dude turning the car around at like 100mph real fast and shifting in reverse while still remaining at the same speed and continues to drive but in reverse. Is this possible? I heard it wasnt as it would FUBAR the car but if it wasnt then why would they put something like that in a movie? Because it looks cool I guess?

People like you are why they have warnings on shows like Jackass.

never believe anything you see in the fast and the furious.

If i put some cool silver decals on my civic and a ps2 inside, how much horsepower will that get me?

I think it depends on the car and tranny but I believe a lot of cars can't go above 30 in reverse

Where in there does it say I wanted to try it? I'm not a car expert so I was curious as to if it was possible. I know the first one wasnt full of fake crap like the second is I guess.

2 Fast 2 Furious sucks, just like the first one and the Matrix.

Anyways, I think it is possible, but at slower speeds.

10hp per decal. The PS2 adds 15hp but depends on which type of memory cards you have in it.

Oh just a put a sock in it

Possible, yes...at lower speeds.

2 problems: Reverse gear works differently from the other gears, so it is impossible (within the relm of reason) to put a car moving forward into reverse (I'm assuming this is a stick shift, probably not a very good asumption in F&F). It would be possible to engage reverse however once you got the car spun around & started moving backwards.

2nd problem is that reverse is generally geared lower than 1st gear (makes sense, when was the last time you hit 10mph in reverse? but also when was the last time you used reverse on a big hill?). Since 1st typically tops out in the 20-30mph range in most cars, expect reverse to top out at 15-20mph.

Not everyone liked Fast And The Furious and the Matrix(which wasnt my question) but most do(I am one of them). Just like most like GTA3 and Vice City(again includeing me) but theirs gonna be alot who don't like it. I take it you love GTA3 and Vice City considering your nick is the name of the main character in the game.
